Birch – Flame Roasted

Roasted Flame Birch is flamed Yellow Birch (Betula alleghaniensis) that has been thermally modified. The wood is heated gradually to over 160°C in oxygen-free chambers, a natural, chemical-free process that changes the wood’s structure and darkens it to a rich chocolate brown while keeping the flamed figure.
Roasting makes the wood more dimensionally stable, but also a little more brittle, so it chips more easily than unmodified birch. That makes it a better fit for floors, tabletops, panels and cladding than for intricate joinery.
Thermally modified wood is very dry and soaks up finish, so plan on a generous coat. Our in-house woodworker has had excellent results with Osmo Polyx-Oil.
It’s also available in wholesale quantities. See also unroasted Flame Birch.
Not listed in the CITES Appendices or on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.
Why We Love This Wood
We just love the rich, honey-brown color that comes with the roasting process.
